Software Licensing Program (SLP)

The Software Licensing Program (SLP) was established in January 1994 and is administered by the Department of General Services, Procurement Division. Extensive software discounts are negotiated with major software publishers that are then passed on to the State, through the SLP contracts established with authorized participating resellers.

November 29, 2017 - "Implementation Services" are now available under the Software Licensing Program (SLP).

State departments should conduct an analysis and use due diligence prior to procuring implementation services to determine if the services provided offer the most cost effective solution meeting the business needs and security requirements.

Requirements:

State departments must complete a Statement of Work (SOW) for all Implementation Services

Job titles/categories are limited to those identified in the SLP price list

Hourly rates must not exceed those identified in the SLP price list

Implementation Services can only be purchased when they are incidental to and in support of the software purchased under the SLP

Implementation Services must not exceed the total dollar value of the software

SLP contracts are established to reduce the need for individual departments to conduct repetitive acquisitions for proprietary software licenses and software upgrades while taking advantage of the large volume discounts offered by the software publishers.

How Departments Use SLP Contracts?

Departments solicit a minimum of three (3) contractors; obtain offers and award purchase orders based upon best value as determined by the needs of the individual department. Departments contact the SLP contractor directly to obtain a copy of the specific SLP contract.

Ordering department executing purchasing using ARRA funding must attach the ARRA Supplemental Terms & Conditions document to their individual purchase documents. Departments are reminded that these terms and conditions supplement, but do not replace, the standard State terms and conditions associated with this leveraged procurement agreement.
